The obvious move here is to call and flop quads, I don't know why anyone hasn't suggested this.

It's not only too early to gamble, it's too early to raise with pocket 9s. At these stakes and this level, even Ax is calling that raise.

You are going to end up in a multiway pot most of the time and there's not too many flops you want to see with that holding.

ok what if you were 100% sure he had A K which i was, is it still a bad play?

[lastchance]

YOU DON'T HAVE THAT READ IN A $10+1, so IT DOESN'T MATTER. STOP THINKING YOU ARE GOD! NO ONE HAS THAT KIND OF READ.

And if you are SURE they have AK, and there's NO WAY YOU CAN BE, call, instantly.

I just reraised a pot early with KK and the guy pushed all-in. I called and he had 9s.

DO NOT READ THIS IS YOU HATE BAD BEATS STORIES: <font color="white"> Of course he hit a 9 on the river and I finished in 10th place.</font>

whats the min hand i need to call this all in?

[tminus]

im only calling with AA, KK for these reasons:
- its still really early in the game and with blinds so low you can build your stack by being patient and smart
- you have no reads on him
- you need a better hand to call with than to raise with

first few levels are usually chaotic, unless your holding is premium stay out of the battles until the idiots bust.

please dont take this the wrong way but buying a book might not be a bad idea, check out Harrington on Hdldem
